Venus Flytrap Opened with Undigested Fly: Exoskeleton Remains Normal

Trap opened, dead fly inside? Normal. Flytraps digest soft parts; chitinous exoskeleton remains.

In Nature

Wind/rain removes husks. Not required to remove manually.

If You Want To

• Blow out (hit or miss).
• Spray with distilled water.
• Tweezers: grab & pull in ONE motion. Wait 45 sec if trigger hairs touched (trap resets in 30+ sec).
